This article explains the cause for continuous beeps from Arcserve UDP appliance device & how to disable the beep.

Why and what are the possibilities of hearing continuous beep’s from Arcserve UDP appliance device?

The cause of these beeps or alarm is mostly due to drive failure on the device. Resetting the drive usually solves the issue. However, a drive replacement is required in some cases.

There are instances where we have had continuous beeps even after replacing the drives. This does not mean the new drive is faulty as well. The reason for the red light & the beeps might be due to the drive not ready for use and it is being rebuilt.

The alarm continues to be there till the drive is completely rebuilt. This is a default setting in the appliance device. However, this setting can be turned off, if someone choose to.
